Funny story. Had a friend, a woman, telling me the story of when she saw this in the theater. Couple of boys, teenagers I think, being rude and obnoxious behind her. Trying to be cool.
Later in the movie, she heard sniffles behind her. You know she wanted to look at them and laugh. d:
Loved her in The Howling.
Ex-cellent. 
Yes, “modeled after”. Sure, that’s the official story. :eek:
I can see WotW.
Speilberg rescued ET from being a horror movie. But, the eyes freaked me out.
How did he manage to keep the thermometer from getting too hot?
“And this is Boba Fett.”
OMGs, kid! Be careful with that. :eek:
aww ET is cute
Yeah im way behind you guys
At the auditions, Henry Thomas thought about the day his dog died to express sadness. Director Steven Spielberg cried, and hired him on the spot.
As long as it was cool enough to put his mouth, it was cool enough to be a reasonable fever temperature. 
Speilberg was great in letting the kids ad lib.
Also, he shot the movie linearly to not confuse them.
ET’s face was modeled after poet Carl Sandburg, Albert Einstein and a pug dog.
Steven Spielberg shot most of the film from the eye-level of a child to further connect with Elliot and E.T.
You have experience I take? d:
Oh, this is new…
Steven Spielberg stated in an interview that E.T. was a plant-like creature, and neither male or female.
I did not know that.
I never faked a fever. I tend to run hot anyway.
For me, it was fake vomit in the toilet. Worked every time. 
“I have absolute POWER!!”
I love that.
“Kids, I’m home.”
That always happens!
Like…Justin Bieber?
I love Michael’s look of utter incredulity
Poor drew. I think she really liked that doll.
